Bitch WTF Podcast

Hey guys
 
This week we change it up a bit and talk about a light-hearted topic. Since we have been in and out of lockdowns and have had many depressing news around the world, we thought today we should talk about whether love is really blind?
 
 Can you really truly love someone without actually physically seeing them?
 
 We spoke about online dating on Episode 16 and discussed what we personally went through during that process. In this episode we talk more broadly about if love can actually be blind.

We dissect the Netflix series 'Love is Blind' and have great fun doing so.

We would love to hear your opinion on this topic please DM us on Instagram @bitchWTFpodcast or email us at [email protected] You can also find us on Facebook by clicking here.

Hey guys

This week we talk about the topic of 'The 5 Love Languages®' devised by the author Dr. Gary Chapman. According to Dr. Chapman, there are five primary love languages that people speak. These include words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, acts of service, and receiving gifts.

We take a deep look into these by analyzing them with a bit of a Culturally and Linguistically Diverse twist.

Knowing your love language gives you the communication to explain what's most important to meet your emotional needs and also the insight to figure out what's important to your partner so you can best meet their emotional needs.

Love languages can also be used for non romantic relationships such as friendships, family and work colleagues.

If you would like to take Dr. Chapman’s love languages test you can access it here.

Hey guys

This week we unpack the T.R.U.S.T.M.E. Model developed by the Coaching Institute. We all want to progress and grow in life and this model is a great way to understand the diverse traits individuals have. 

This model is great for professionals (such as managers), but also it is great for individuals to understand the diversity of personalities that exist within society. It is even great to understand the many different personalities we have within our own families (especially the CALD families). 
 
TRUST ME stands for:

1. Trust (me)
2. Relate-ability (we)
3. Uniqueness (me)
4. Structure Sustainability (we)
5. Tenacity (me)
6. Meaning (we)
7. Evolution (me) 

These will all make total sense once you start listening to this episode. We recommend you have a pen and paper and jot down notes whilst stopping and starting this episode.

Hey guys

This week we talk to a wonderful human Ayman Kaake. Ayman was Born in Tripoli, Lebanon, and travelled to Australia in 2011 in pursuit of studying visual arts. A telecommunications engineer and cinematography graduate, he left behind his parents and eleven siblings as he set off on his artistic journey. Applying his creative vision then led to diplomas in photo-imaging and visual arts from Melbourne Polytechnic. In 2014, his passion for cinema and photography eventually developed into a body of digital art works, creating images that delve into the dreamlike world of personal experiences and emotional turmoil. Although dealing with moving and serious emotions, Kaake’s works are almost hopeful, and he believes that “sometimes imagination is better than reality”.

You can access Ayman’s work here.

You can follow him on Instagram here.

Hey guys

In this episode we talk about being stuck between three cultures. What are these three cultures?

The first one being your parents’ culture (homeland culture), the second one being the culture you are born in, or migrated to when you are very young and the third culture is what you make of these two cultures. This third culture does not have specific traits to it. It is individual to each and everyone of us. 

What does this mean when we are forming our identities? We unpack this in this episode.

We would love to hear your cultural journey and how you identify yourself? Please DM us on Instagram @bitchWTFpodcast or email us at [email protected]
